I wouldn't characterize any of these supposed "victors" as having lived
anything approaching a fulfilling life...

No, I suppose they haven't flown a Cherokee across the country with a
wife who is also a pilot and two children who may also become aviators....

SNIP

Not me. I'd rather sit by the pool. But I am not going to define
victory for others based on what my whims in life are.

Me, neither.

My point, Jose, is that these "victories" have come at such a high
personal cost to those who achieved them as to dissuade most thinking
people from even trying to mess with America.

Why? Because most people DON'T want to spend their lives on the run,
living in a cave.
